The program aims at offering theoretical knowledge and practical skills through highly qualified teaching combined with opportunity to exercise it in practice in the most modern preclinical and clinical medical complexes in Bulgaria.

The training course in Medicine is conducted on the basis of a curriculum which is made according to the Unified state requirements for the master’s degree in the specialty ‘Doctor of Medicine’’ and the qualification of a General Practitioner.

The curriculum also satisfies the regulations of the Directive 93/16/EEC of April, 5 1993.

A combined written admission exam has to be passed, consisting of two components – a test in Chemistry, and a test in Biology. The examination is carried out in English.

The topics of Chemistry and Biology cover the material taught in secondary school. The duration of the admission exam is four astronomic hours. Only applicants who have passed both components of the exam are eligible for ranking. The components of the exam contribute to the final grade as follows: 50% Chemistry, 50% Biology. The applicants can sit for the entrance exam – test in Chemistry and Biology in English language once or twice (optional) and they will be ranked on the basis of their results. Ranking is done in descending order of the grade from the admission exam. For applicants who have passed the exam on the two dates, the higher grade is considered for ranking.

The first 50 candidates from the ranking list will be admitted.
